Argentina’s peso could experience “disorder” next week if the Central Back does not pull through on its attempts to refinance almost US$ 30 million in expiring short-term Lebac notes, JPMorgan Chase & Co. has warned.

The Central Bank expects on Tuesday to roll over 674 billion pesos worth of Lebacs which expire on Wednesday. Their yield, due in June, jumped 43.6 percent.

“A failure in rolling over the maturing Lebac stock would lead to a disorder bid on the dollar and renovated capital outflow,” JPMorgan analysts Diego Pereira and Lucila Barbeito wrote in a note.

"The recent measures by the central bank, together with Lebac rates above 40 percent suggest the authority would be able to roll a significant share of the stock.”
